Colette CooperGUEST
And, um, he managed to get, you know, Steve Coogan involved, which is great, and of course we got Ray Winstone involved, which is Lois's dad, um, which is great.
Colette CooperGUEST
And we've got loads of amazing people like Anna Friel's on board to customize it, Maxine Peake.
Colette CooperGUEST
We want Ricky Gervais to come on board and help customize this T-shirt, 'cause the more the merrier, and then we'll auction it for as much as we can get.
Colette CooperGUEST
But it's not just about raising the money, it's raising the awareness, because more and more people, I met someone yesterday who had a beagle.

Getting beaten.

My paternal grandfather, who lived with us, was a card-carrying communist until the day he died, and Dad had been a member of the YCL before I was born.
Talal KarkoutiHOST
Our mutual friend Maxine Peake mentioned your new book to me a few months ago.
Talal KarkoutiHOST
I've also read and thoroughly enjoyed your other books and enjoy the podcasts you do with Talal.

Sara CoxHOST
We did our A-level theatre studies together.
Lauren MurphyHOST
This six-part miniseries, though, is based in Australia and follows the story of this man called Ian, who is played by Patrick Bramall, who, as you said... is from Colin from Accounts so you'll recognise him if you watch that comedy series.
Lauren MurphyHOST
He plays a former police officer who now works as a dispatcher for the emergency services and we know we learn fairly early on that Ian is a recovering alcoholic and the reason for his addiction is that 11 years ago his three-year-old daughter was kidnapped and is basically being presumed dead his ex-wife has moved on she's expecting a child with a new partner and then the skeletal remains of a child are found in the woods not far from their town this is the opening scene of the series by the way so no spoilers but that turns his world obviously upside down once again because it's assumed that this is obviously their little girl but then he receives a phone call in his job as a dispatcher that completely changes everything I really really like this this is a beautifully shot series to start with like it looks fantastic like the color palette the mood everything about how it looks is great but all that would be pointless if the story wasn't up to scratch and the story absolutely is up to scratch it is so gripping there are so many twists and turns the acting is excellent to be fair Patrick Bramall who plays Ian in particular is excellent Maxine Peake is in this as well she is brilliant in everything she is such a good actress and she's excellent in this there's another actor called Brendan Cowell who plays a character called Henry wasn't familiar with him at all to be honest he's excellent as well just the right level of sinister and compelling so there's so many things going for this series I really think it's worth a watch
Aoife BarryHOST
That is so great.
Aoife BarryHOST
I think my mum's a big fan of this, I think.
Dave MoorHOST
Yes.
Dave MoorHOST
And it's got Maxine Peake in it as well.
Dave MoorHOST
Yes.
Lee ArnottHOST
So they weren't originally going to cast because they weren't convinced she could do an Aussie accent.
DaveHOST
So, uh, yeah, this does sound interesting.
Gray PantonHOST
I have a real fascination for some dramas like this, and I remember quite a few years ago, the drama Silk with Maxine Peake-
DaveHOST
Mm
Gray PantonHOST
... on BBC.
Holly WainwrightHOST
He's great in it.
Holly WainwrightHOST
Maxine Peake, who's Mancunian.
Holly WainwrightHOST
She's also fabulous.
Holly WainwrightHOST
The writing is great.
John FardyHOST
And Patrick Bramall, as this very complicated man with a very complicated past, is terrific.
John FardyHOST
Maxine Peake is in it as well.
John FardyHOST
A five-star review for Last Scene on Apple TV.
John FardyHOST
And then very quickly, I just want to mention, as a little coming up for you, we normally look back on the week that's been, but as the week ahead, a new show that's starting, courtesy of our friends and TG Cahir, called A Pair of Teeth.
Andrew MercadoHOST
From the moment I started watching this and he was in that first scene and just that sadness in his eyes just really captured me.
Andrew MercadoHOST
And I mean, last scene's got all these ingredients, all of these great actors like Brendan Cowell and Maxine Peake and Daniel Henshaw and Burt LeBondt.
Andrew MercadoHOST
And filmed in Australia, all Australian cast.
Andrew MercadoHOST
It should have everything going for it, but James, I didn't believe any of it.

James ManningHOST
The thing, the biggest...
James ManningHOST
I don't know how we can talk about this without spoilers, though, but we also meet when, in separate scenes in that first series, we meet Henry and Jenna Ree.
James ManningHOST
That's Brendan Cowell and his wife, played by Maxine Peake.
James ManningHOST
Good to see her in it.
Wenlei MaGUEST
So hopefully this is not too spoilerific for anybody.
Wenlei MaGUEST
But, yeah, it definitely plays into the story because she has grown up as Sarah, the daughter of Brendan Cowell's character, Henry, and they're kind of like these reclusive, almost Christian fundamentalists, lives off the grid with his wife, played by the, I think she's British, Maxine Peake, yeah.
Wenlei MaGUEST
And, you know, has always hidden her away from the public, you know, homeschooled.
Wenlei MaGUEST
If anyone knocks on the door, she has to kind of hide behind this curtain
